HYBE Taps Juan S. Arenas as President of Global Label Services Division

HYBE has appointed Juan S. Arenas as the new president of the company's Global Label Services division, which is set to play a pivotal role in supporting the international growth of HYBE's artists. The division, previously known as HYBE Label Services, has undergone a name change to better reflect HYBE's global strategy of providing consistent, integrated services across its labels and fostering the long-term development of its artists.

Arenas, who previously held the positions of chief IP officer for HYBE AMERICAS and chief operating officer for HYBE Latin America, emphasizes the division's goal to provide a competitive edge and enable exponential growth for HYBE's global IPs and artists. Arenas, who has been named to Billboard's Latin Power Players list, will report directly to HYBE CEO Jason Jaesang Lee, while remaining based in Los Angeles.

Nicole Csabai, a senior vice president of global distribution based in Nashville, will oversee HYBE's catalog and streaming efforts, among other responsibilities. Additionally, Melissa Victor-Burkhardt, who has been named executive vice president of global artist services, will lead the Artist Success Unit, which aims to strengthen project management and provide expanded support to HYBE's global artist roster.

Victor-Burkhardt, who most recently served as senior vp and head of publicity and brand strategy at Epic Records, joins HYBE from Interscope Records.
